I enjoyed having her, she made Anatomy fun and interesting. I would recommend her to anyone. Anatomy is a hard course, its good to have a prof. that makes is fun

Even though there is a lot less memorization in A&P II, she made it much more pleasant. Very good at teaching and instructing, always will help you understand it.

I took a different prof for a&p 1 but then took Gargan for a&p2 and it was so much better! Shes eager to help you understand, teaches very well & by far the best teacher i've had at TCC. I recommend her to everyone who needs this class.

lynn is an incredible woman. she's so funny and intelligent. the class is difficult, but she makes it as simple as she can. she is just amazing. her laugh is contagious. :)

Professor Gargan will go out of her way to help you if you have a true desire to be helped. She does her best to help you understand the material. The classes are hard but she makes it bearable. If most of the class misses a few questions on the test, she decides that she must not have gotten it across and usually will give extra points.

GREAT INSTRUCTOR, VERY, VERY HELPFURL, TERRIFIC SENSE OF HUMOR, VERY PERSONABLE, APPROACHABLE.

lynn is the best proffessor to take for this class becouse she cares about how her students do and she loves what she teaches and will jump off a mountain just to help her students understand the material.

I really enjoyed having her as my teacher!! This is no doubt a very hard class, but she really tries to make it understandable!! She really does care about her students and how they do in her class. She takes the time to review before each test!! Take her she is the best teacher!!

Great Teacher!!! Hard class, but she tries her best to help everyone understand even if she has to review it 10 times. Definitely take her for lab as well, it is confusing taking a different prof. for the lab. She really is concerned about the students and wants you to pass. Some extra credit available. She reviews before test, dont miss it!!

Lynn is awesome. A&P is the hardest class I've ever taken, but she did her best to make sure we understood everything. She is funny, nice and overall a great professor.

Lynn really is the best. Like someone else said, she'll jump off a mountain to help you. She's also freakin' hilarious.

First off, this is a science class and guess what? You are in college and the teacher is not there to spoon-feed you. Lynn is the greatest teacher and she misses her lunch, meetings, etc. all the time to help students understand. Her test can be challenging, but she is only preparing you for the real world of medicine. She gets an "A+"

I passed A&P I with an 89. She is wonderful at explaining things, keeps your attention throughout class, and very approachable. Although I wasn't able to take her for A&P II, due to her classes quickly filling up, she still offered her assistance when I needed help- even though I'm not her student! She is awesome!

Dr.Gargan is known around campus as THE professor to take if you need an "A" for your program. A&P is used as a "weed out" class at TCC, so it's challenging no matter who you take. The difference is having a professor who is willing to go the extra mile for students. You will spend hours outside of class studying-that's a given, but she's the best!

Dr. Gargan is a wonderful teacher who will really go out of her way to help. You cannot miss a class, she does talk fast so you might want to bring a recorder if you will actually listen to it later, tests are just fine if you study, if you don't then you will have absolutely no idea what is going on. Very very nice lady too! Very approchable.

A&P is just hard all together, but I took her for both I & II and I made a B both times. You have to be prepared to study in this class and go to the Science Learning Center. Gargan talks fast, but I like her best out of the A&P teachers. She is willing to help you any time she can and will tell you what you need to do to get your desired grade.

her work is challenging but her enthusiastic approach to the anatomy subject makes it worth while. For those of you said there are no notes, you must have been sleeping, because she draws diagrams and writes vocab words down every class. If you are stuck she is more than happy to see you afetrwards to clarify anything.A+ for this teacher rating!

Study the handouts - a lot of test questions are from there. Homework and Extra Credit are excellent! She tells you the essay questions in advance1

Lynn rocks! This is a very hard class no matter who you have but she makes it interesting and bearable. Read the book, listen in class and see her for extra help if needed....she is ALWAYS willing to help. I'd take her again in a heartbeat.

Lynn is great! She will give you 110% of her time and effort. A&P is a very tough class, but Lynn makes it bearable. You have to read the book, attend class, take notes and study. If you are not willing to do that - stay home or take a cooking class. This class is not for whiners or slackers. I wouldn't take anyone other than Lynn for A&P

I lucked out when taking her class without knowing anything about her ahead of time. She made the lab so fun and would hang out with some of us afterwards and go over stuff individually. Tons of hands on experience, very direct with telling us what we need to know. Knows her stuff, and love her personality.

A&P is an extremely fast paced and study intensive class. Lynn Gargan has got to be the best instructor for the job. She injects humor and clear explanations into an otherwise difficult subject. She is willing to go the extra mile for her students and is more than happy to help you to succeed. A+ for Gargan!

Lynn is a great teacher! A&PII is hard, no matter who you take. Lynn knows this subject like the back of her hand. There is a lot of work involved, but it's all geared toward helping you understand the material and do well on the exams. Recommend attendance for all lectures. Read book before class.

This is not a class for wimps. (BTW - NO A & P class is!) A & P is HARD you MUST study-a lot! You must know the book, inside and out. Lynn's humor makes injects humor into a very hard class. She will spend hours with you re-drawing, explaining in different ways. You must spend time at the Science Learning Center. Her door is always open. Take her!

Easily one of the best professors I've had- very friendly and always willing to help her students. Class content is hard, but it's hard across the board, not just her class. Go to SLC- spend as much time there as you can, and don't be afraid to ask questions. She also makes learning anatomy fun and is very straightforward with what she expects.

Truly one of the BEST biology professors I have had! A&P I & II are no joke. It's hard, but when you have a teacher who can put the material in a way you can understand, you can make it in the class. Trust me, she wants her students to do well, But you Get the Grade You Earn!

Lynn Gargan comes to class every day with a smile and jokes. The class is hard. It's all memorization, but she makes it tolerable. I recommend her 1000%. If you take the class, take it seriously.

Let me start off by saying that A&P is not a easy subject at all!! Prof. Gargan is a great teacher, always comes in smiling. I would recommend her for A&P. Just take the class serious and make sure you put the time in to study. It is not going to be easy to pass this class.

I took this class before with her and got an A. Since that time, she has obviously bent to departmental pressure to make the class harder for TCC's purpose of weeding out the flood of HS program applicants. She waits until about 80% of the class has dropped and makes the remaining exams incrementally harder and changes the format. Unfair.

One of the best professors at TCC in A&P if you want to learn the right way. She is hard if you don't read the textbook and skip lectures, if you read read read the textbook and pay attention to her lectures its the test, But tests are hard so STUDY alot!!!....She is funny and extremely helpful outside classroom.

Dr Gargan is the best A&P instructor at TCC! She is clear, and really knows her stuff! She is always there to help you and goes out of her way to make sure everyone understands before she moves on. A&P is a hard class and there is a lot to remember and learn but Dr. Gargan makes it easier to understand. I highly recommend her!

She is THE teacher to take for A&P. Extremely knowledgeable & her love of the subject is infectious. She talks fast. Teaches it at a low level to help one grasp the concept but she tests at a higher level. Think about it, you wouldn't want a C student working on your anatomy in the real world. She's making sure our nurses and techs know their stuff

She is the Professor of BIO. Her tests are difficult for a good reason. I'm just not used to it because it is tricky and VERY wordy... you have to know everything at the top of your head. Great challenge. I just wish I didn't overload on my classes this semester.

If you take A&P, don't take too many classes with it. Lynn Gargan, in my opinion, blows the other teachers out of the water. She is the best. We are lucky to have her at TCC. Her tests are very hard, and you must study A LOT just to get a C. She is best for lab and lecture, but good luck getting placed in her class. It fills in minutes.

Real Talk. She makes the class FUN!! I was NEVER bored BUT! but...she knows what she is doing. Her test are hekka hard. 50 questions are multiple choice and 25 are fill in the blank. I don't mean one word fill in the blank answers. Im talking 3-4 sentence type answers. The SE campus give 2 chapters to study for and NE 4 per test.

Lynn is by FAR the BEST AP teacher! Fun, interesting,really cares about her students, but, she expects you to be responsible and doesn't "hand feed" the material. Tests are hard, but, very doeable with study. Don't overload your semester. LOTS of memory work! Try to get her for both lecture and lab to do really well with the class.

Best Bio teacher. She is engaging in class and her love of the subject is obvious. You def have to study (hard) but is completely doable. Don't overload on other classes as it is a huge time commitment. Will continue on to her A&P 2 class.

Outstanding professor. She is very approachable, and uses great analogies to understand the concepts. Ask yourself if you are willing to eat, breath and live it before taking this class, because that is the volume of information you are dealing with. Be prepared for exams, and invest the time in studying EVERYTHING and you will reap the rewards.

Best Prof you can take for A&P.It's a tough class w/lots of studying.She does not try to trick you on the tests.Her tests are only 1/2 multiple choice questions, but guess what?real life situations do not involve multiple choice questions.You either know what to do or not.She trains us to KNOW this info!Take her if you're serious about learning A&P

Took her for A&P II. I wish she taught every class at TCC. She was incredible at making complex ideas simple and easy to understand. If you work hard you'll get an A.

great teacher, one of the best i've ever had. she obviously loves her job and her excitement makes class entertaining. she is more than willing to help. the class wasn't the easiest but not because of her, anatomy is a lot of material to know. be prepared so study a ton, but i would absolutely recommend her

I had her for both A&P I and II, and although she speaks very fast because there is a ton of material to go through, she is a VERY good teacher. I took these classes several years ago as pre-reqs for a program, and I can say that her teaching style definitely taught me how to be a disciplined student for the rest of my classes and the program.

Mrs. Gargan LOVES her job and good at it! She is a fun teacher but class is hard! Not only is the material but her test are hard! Multiple choice, fill in blanks and essays for every test. She really makes you learn the material!! Awesome teacher but if you looking for someone to make A&P easier don?t take her class.

I love this teacher. You can tell she loves her job. I had her for A&P Lab. She is funny and explains things in easy to understand terms and has helpful hint on how to memorize certain sections. She is always available for questions. Yes, she is hard, but you walk away knowing your anatomy.

She is a wonderful professor. I honestly do not think I would have learned so much from any other anatomy professor. The class is certainly hard though and it takes a LOT of time and effort to get a good grade.

This is a hard class that req's 20-30 hours of study time for avg student. She speaks extremely fast in class b/c there's so much to cover in short time frame. I record the lectures & listen to them over & over. She is very organized.Also have for lab. she stays on tasks and encourages participation. VERY HARD CLASS-U MUST STUDY

She is tough, but a GREAT professor. She works hard to help you understand. Her exams are not impossible, but you HAVE to study. You cannot cram for her exams and make a good grade. If you have already developed good study habits, you will be fine.

This woman is awesome. Her tests are hard only because the material is complex and she WANTS you to know the stuff. You earn your grade by how much time you devote to studying. She's hilarious and more than willing to help you with anything you don't understand (which is important). I highly recommend her!

Tough teacher, but you learn your stuff with her. This is not a blow off class and you must work your rear off for the grade you receive.

Had for Lab & Lec and she was one of the best prof. I've ever had. Record every word, study the book ?'s, and ask her what you don't understand! She is MORE than willing to help because she WANTS you to succeed! LOVE and will MISS her!

AMAZING CLASS. Her class is a lot of work but you get out what you put in. She'll teach you the concept and the book will get the details. She has printable notes. LOTS of homework but easy 100 on those. Tests are hard, you need to study a lot. No test review pages but she'll give hints for whats on the test. She makes learning fun!! Super helpful!

Dr. Gargan is a wonder woman. Absolutely FANTASTIC teacher but you DO have to study and know your stuff. She tells you exactly what you need to know and memorize for her tests. Her tests are hard but only because the material is very complex. She wants you to learn and succeed. Also very personable, willing to help, and fun.

Dr. Gargan is a fabulous teacher. She knows the material and has a passion for the subject. She is not the easiest teacher but you will learn the material. She is one of the best professors I have ever had.

A&P is a hard class no matter what professor you have. There is way too much information to be covered in such little time. I think that Gargan is a wonderful professor. We made it through each chapter on time. She makes class fun. You will have to study. No question about it.If I had time, I would go by her office to see her. Great lady.

She is the head of the TCC-NE A&P department. She makes all of the lab exams for all NE lab midterms and finals. Her Lecture exams are very challenging. Her tests have less multiple choice than other professors. If you manage to pass her class then you will definitely know your A&P. Record her lectures and take in depth notes off of them.

Gargan is a great teacher. She's really wants you to know the material. The class is not easy; it takes hard work to earn a decent grade. I recommend her though. She makes class fun.

Best teacher ever. If you have the choice, take her. Talks fast through lecture. Makes material interesting. Loves the job. She will spend hours outside of class explaining subject until you get it. Tests are hard, memorize the diagrams.

Lynn Gargan is a excellent professor. A & P is an extremely hard class no matter who your take it with, but Prof. Gargan will try and help you succeed as much as possible. I would recommend taking fewer hours when you are taking this class, because you will be studying a minimum 20 hours a week if you want to recieve a good grade.

I loved her class, just really hard midterm and can be discouraging or overwhelming just remember that the lab is only a small part of the whole grade.

She is a hard teacher. Her tests are tough. No exam review. Do not take her.

Gargan is an amazing professor and I would definitely take her again. You MUST be serious about studying and actually doing the work. SHE'S THERE FOR YOU. You have online hw and she's really into her lectures. She does give extra credit and will give you hints when you visit her office. Be sure to read the textbook and be sure to take her for lab.

Gargan is a great professor and her lectures are super interactive!! She is hilarious and cares about her students. If you want to challenge yourself take her lecture class but be prepared to study about 20 hours or more a week. Also her tests aren't a walk in the either. Also be prepared for essay and fill in the blank questions.

GREAT TEACHER. TOOK HER LAB AND SHE IS HILARIOUS. SHE TRIES TO TEACH AS MUCH INFO TO YOU AS SHE CAN. I DO THINK THAT SHE CAN BE A HARD GRADER BUT SHE LOVES TEACHING WANTS EVERYONE TO DO WELL. I HAVENT TAKEN HER LECTURE BUT HEARD THAT ALL OF HER TESTS ARE FILL IN THE BLANK OR ESSAY TYPE QUESTIONS. SO YOU EITHER KNOW THE INFO OR YOU DONT.

Gargan is an amazing teacher and probably the best teacher to take for lab! She's very helpful and is happy to answer any questions you have. She cares about you passing her class. Utilize the study guide and you'll do just fine!!

Dr. Gargan is the best professor I've ever had! She makes everything fun to learn about, but you have to read the book to pass the exams. As with any A&P course, there is too much information for the semester, so reading is critical. I would recommend you take Gargan for both lecture and lab.

I had no idea that I was signing up for art and English class. We had to draw on every test and write at least 2 essays!! I think she's an ok teacher, but I think she forgets that we're trying to learn the information and she teaches as if we already knew it. I can't really say that I learned much, I feel like I was studying just to pass the tests.

Dr. Gargan is a great prof for those serious about their class. You have to work for it, but she is an easygoing, approachable prof who really wants her students to succeed. She asked us for feedback on the types of question to put on the tests and did a lot to engage the class with real life examples. When I stuck my mind to it, my grade improved.

Dr. Gargan is AWESOME!!!!!! Don't get me wrong, this class IS NOT EASY. You are going to have to actually work for your grades and really be able to master the material. She does short answer/drawings on tests, but she prepares you for what will be expected beforehand! She's ALWAYS available to clarify concepts during office hours & is hillarious!

Lecture tests are multiple choice, with drawings, and fill in the blank. However this teacher will make you learn so well that its no problem. Teacher will really help you out when you are struggling to learn, and teaches with different methods to explain.

She is a hoot and a half. Honestly, she has been one of my favorite professors thus far. I think she gets you ready for what you have ahead in your life (for me, it was nursing school). I don't think I ever went into a test feeling unprepared because she made me want to study. Very approachable, knowledgeable, and entertaining.

Dr. Gargan is a phenomenal teacher who is extremely passionate about her students success.. but she makes you work for it!! Her tests are very challenging but I believe they will prepare you for what is to come in nursing school or any other medical career you choose. I would take her again!

Dr. Gargan is a phenomenal professor! Tough class and you have to put in the work but she's there every step of the way with fun tips and tricks to grasp the information! Her tests are difficult (mult. choice, essays, drawings) but she literally gives you everything you need to pass every test! Take notes, record, and read and you'll make your A!

If you are heading into the nursing program Dr. Gargans' class is the way to go. She will teach you how to apply what you learn not just memorize and regurgitate information. I took her for both A&P I & II and can not stress how much she prepared me for the nursing program. She is a fantastic person all the way around. I still stop by to see her!

Dr. Gargan kept A&P 1 interesting. She goes through the material really fast because there is so much material to cover in lab. But she is accessible outside of her class time, plus she has additional tutoring time. She's a gem at TCC. You're not expected to know the material before each class, but you NEED to fill out your lab book before lab.

Had Dr. G for A&PI and II. Spring 2017 she changed up her assignments to no homework in Lab and less homework in Lecture. She is not easy but you will learn the most from her, period. She loves teaching A&P. How to succeed: show up, do your APRs and WDYLs *early*, fill out your lab book. Extra credit available on all exams, drops one lecture exam.

EXCELLENT CLASS. As someone who has never taken an Anatomy class, or a Bio class since high school, this was right up my alley. It's fast paced and assignments creep up fast, *ORGANIZATION AND TIME MANAGEMENT IS KEY. Her lectures are heavy on terms, but also in application and it shows in her exams. SHOW UP. Missing even one class puts you behind.

Dr. Gargan is great! People stay away from her because she is 'hard' but theres no reason to do that. If you're willing to study, and A in the class is well within reach. All of her students love her and she's an amazing professor. Take this class if you really want to learn the material. Would definitely take again!

AP II is a hard class no matter what teacher you have. Take her if you want to LEARN! If you want an easy A, she isn't for you. You can tell she knows what she is talking about and she has fun teaching. There are drawings, but I promise, they are helpful. If you plan on being a nurse, take her.

Dr. gargan is hands down one of the best professors I've ever had. She is very nice and will answer any and all questions. She tells you exactly what will be on all the tests. She designs each test different for each class. Bonus points for every chapter. Drawings or essay question on each test. Two homework assign. for every chapter.

Tough class but she's kind & funny! Passing/getting an A in her class is all about how much effort you put into studying the material she gives you - read, write, study, do her extra credit (it helps you study!) A&P is just the beginning of challenging classes if you are getting a medical degree, so take Gargan b/c she will prepare you for that!

This class will not be for the weak. She is amazing though. This is only the beginning of hard, if you cannot handle her class you probably shouldn't be going into a medical field. Her class defiantly prepares you and you get what you put into this class. This is my second time takeing it and im honestly glad I choose her for this round!

Extremely tough class, but it was well worth it. Going into any health related career, you have to be ready to commit, and this class gives you a pretty good glimpse into how much you'll need to commit. I loved Dr. Gargan's class and I worked at it every day for the whole semester. She explains difficult concepts well and is very laid back. 11/10

She really cares about students!! Also helps you out if you need more of an understanding! Great professor

A&P is a challenging class no matter who you take. Dr Gargan is entertaining, funny, smart (she helped write the lab book!) Clear about what is on the test, right down to what the essay will be and what the drawings are. Don't listen to neg reviews. There are so many resources to do well in this class. You have to put the time in to get the A.

I am a non-science major and took this class thinking anatomy was easy in high school-not paying attention to science major class. Although Dr. Gargan is amazing! A lot of hw and you NEED to study a lot to get a good grade. She is funny, caring and will answer ANY question you ask and make sure you understand. I managed with a C so focus and study!

Dr. Gargan is an amazing professor! She genuinely cares for her students and wants the best for them. Anatomy is not easy but she makes you love it!

I cannot give Dr. Gargan enough praise. She is an exceptional human being who has a passion for teaching, her students, & a dedication to science. If I could have one professor throughout my nursing educational career, I would choose her in a heartbeat. She will teach you the obligatory material plus MUCH MORE to prepare you for whatever you need.

Quite simply, she loves what she does, and she want you to succeed. Time management is key. She looks for more of an understanding within her tests rather than just memorization. Study hard and talk to her, and you're bound to succeed.

This class is NOT an easy A, but I also think how hard you have to work in this class adds to what you get out of it. Gargan talks very fast, so you need to show up every class and pay attention. I couldn't keep up with her so I would take notes ahead of time and highlight what she went over. Overall, difficult class with a passionate teacher

Love this class! Shes very clear on what to expect on her tests. Multiple choice, fill in the blank,& drawings. Will help you understand and answer all questions you have. Very passionate about what she teaches. Ap2 is never easy with anyone you take but shes great! Lots of HW but its super helpful. As long as you communicate, youre golden.

Dr. Gargan is a great teacher. She really cares about her students. There is a lot of homework and case studies to do but it really helps you learn the material. Dr. Gargan will always talk to you any time, she will answer your emails quick and will always make time for you to discuss concerns. She is one of the best teachers I have had!

Gargan is wonderful. She is extremely intelligent& loves to teach A&P2 BUT.. her class is very hard. She gives a lot of HW such as APRs which are 100 questions, WDYLs & those are about 25+ questions with long answers & requires you to read a lot, & case maps which take hours to finish. If you dont mind learning independently, shes for you.

Dr. Gargan is an amazing professor! She truly cares about her students & wants nothing but the best. She is really approachable & is willing to answer your questions. This class was NOT easy but, you have h/w & bonus points to help you boost your grade. Cannot stress it enough, attend SI & read the textbook! If you do, you will get that A!
